You could explore the idea of shared workers, with them single shared worker could provide tweets to all windows, with one update stream it would be smoother experience.

PNG?! For shame. Where’s the SVG or Canvas, bro?

It’s coming! Now that I’ve figured out the proportions and such, I want to make an HTML5ify web app that’ll build these guys for you, then let you download either a vector based or bitmap image. The Android team released all their artwork for the Androdify app, so it’s just a matter of webifying it… so to speak!

More excuses to come back next year.

P.S.: Of course, after eating such an Asado, you would need a Siesta .

I watched your presentations in GDD and I asked myself “What is he using?”

I´ll try!

In this time I write you, I have got Keiser timer cpd..

rtpHarry:

Pete, I have been sending people to this page in forum replies for a long time now as its a great example of a simple httphandler. It seems that since you moved domains the code on this page has turned into an unreadable blob Is there anything you can do to return it to its former glory?

You’re right – ouch. I just tried to look at the mark it, and it’s pretty ugly. I’ll try to get it fixed later today!

Steve:

Although I think there’s much easier ways to pull this off with jQuery or any other framework – kudos for attempting this without them.

Great point Steve! And you’re absolutely right! I wanted to do this without libraries partly as an academic exercise, but also to show as we get more HTML5 features in our browsers, the need for libraries will decrease significantly. classList is a great example of that.

I made a few changes last night based on some feedback via Twitter, and upped the click target size – check out http://petelepage.com/scratch/slider-panel/index2.html. I love the solid triangle idea and will make that change to v2 as soon as I finish reply!

I’d change the behavior though of the “mouseover/hover” effect… if you try to click the arrow to expand the panel, it nudges in a bit causing your click to miss the target (e.g. bad usability)

On a personal note, although the rotating arrow is nifty I’d switch it to a solid triangular arrow as the open arrow looks like an HTML coding error (e.g. an extra closing bracket) vs. an intended UI element.

Another thing I noticed about html5 videos generally is that html5 video when clicked doesn’t start immediately and when we use the video scrubber it starts. Can you pls. explain that too.Thanks & Regards, Sagar S. Ranpise

Hey Sagar,

To get the video able to start more quickly, the easiest thing to do is add the preload=”auto” attribute to the video tag. In my examples, I set the preload to none which prevents the browser from preloading the video. That’s helpful when (for example on a blog), you aren’t positive that people are going to want to watch the video and want to be respectful of bandwidth.

Hope that helps!

I was going through the post and the sad panda notification appeared but when I click the video it started the video. Can you pls. explain why the notification shows up when html5 video is supported and i am using Chrome (12.0.742.112) as browser.

This can be done in FIREFOX (Firebug, and Chris Pedericks Toolkit)… but sadly, not in MSIE Dev Toolkit.

It would be useful, because MSIE does not behave well. A stylesheet that follows CSS protocol will work on Firefox, but will sometimes make dogs breakfast when applied t MSIE.

What I would like is a feature in MSIE Dev Toolkit that allows a complete removal of the existing css sheet, and an ability to apply a completely different stylesheet.

Thanks for the make awesome web plug. you rock!

Is that a new icon for the CWS? Will we see it soon?

One I use that is probably not well known is an Australian one called whirlpool.net.au (a tech forum). Aesthetically it is good looking, but, the search. It’s in the wrong spot. Difficult to find. It’s like….slap head, this should be obvious.

Anton:

Been printing for 20 years and have never heard of this and never ran into any troubles due to the lack of this knowledge…

I don’t think it’s something that would ever cause you a problem when printing, but just a different way of thinking about exposing paper. You’d never expose a photograph in linear time, so why would you do it to paper?

And no, I don’t work for them, I’m in a completely different industry and do all kinds of crazy web stuff!

In Firebug I can type “a” into the script console (where a is an array) and not only see the contents of the array but all the DOM methods I can call on it. In IE toolbar all I see is a useless “{…}”. Absolutely pointless.

Any updates on when the IE9 image is ready, I have no other way of testing my many sites. This is really a must for the thousands of people unable to run Vista or Win 7.

It sometimes feels as if microsoft goes out of their way to make our life difficult as web developers. Not only do we have to support your non-standard out of date versions, but you seem to make it difficult for us to do that at every step of the way.

I’m really very disappointed in microsoft for doing this. The irony is that if it wasn’t for spoon.net’s service filling a gap you’ve left yourselves, I would not have recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit, and microsoft would have lost a sale (previously I was using windows XP and MultipleIE – which sadly won’t work with windows 7).

I really don’t like the VHD approach you offer yourself, and most of the guys I work with much preferred spoon.net.

Why you haven’t provided something similar yourself before now (or even just some form of compartmentalisation so different versions of IE could coexist peacefully on the same machine like many other browsers do) is beyond me.

I know none of this is probably your fault personally, so apologies for the rant, but I notice that you’re involved with Internet Explorer and liasing with developers, so I can only hope you can get across the message about how upset a lot of developers and web designers are about removing IE from spoon.net

I hope it’s resolved soon (or that you can take the time to build your own solution instead of these clunky VHD images that only run on your own platform and expire regularly).

I work with several design and development companies and everyone I speak to is fuming about this at the moment.

“with the F12 Developer Tools and get an almost perfect replication of IE9, IE8 or even IE7.”

My experience has shown me that there are several differences with the rendering engine(s). using the VHD’s, VMWare or Spoon.net’s virtual apps is much better than playing the guess-if-its-right game in the Developer Tools.
